Offered is a framed hand-colored lithograph titled “Se-Loc-Ta – A Creek Chief” from the historic publication History of the Indian Tribes of North America, commonly known as the McKenney & Hall Portfolio of American Indians.

The original series was produced between 1837 and 1844 and later issued in several editions including the 1859 octavo edition published in Philadelphia.

The portraits were based on paintings by Charles Bird King and reproduced as lithographs to document Native American leaders and representatives from tribes across North America.

This portrait depicts Se-Loc-Ta, a Creek Chief, rendered with fine detail and delicate hand-applied color typical of the McKenney & Hall series.

These prints are highly sought after by collectors of:

• Native American historical portraits

• early American lithography

• ethnographic art

• 19th century Americana

The print is presented in a decorative frame with wide matting and is ready for display.
